It’s not booked yet but I’m planning on taking about 5 days this summer to gallivant around Southern California.

Those that know me well know that I love baseball, and especially baseball stadiums. The stars (and schedules) have aligned, and the Phillies will be in Los Angeles and San Diego, and the Angels will also be home. I plan on seeing games in all three parks.

Sounds awesome, except, I’ll be by myself.

It seems like a great opportunity to do things that nobody else would want to do (i.e. get up at sunrise and ride a bike along the beach), and not be a slave to anybody else’s schedule or interests. I might even learn a thing or two about myself. But at the same time it feels like it can be horribly depressing and lonely.

Who has done the solo travel thing before? What did you like, and what did you not like? Did you find it easy to meet new, like-minded people?
